“Today’s Tory Diary reports on David Cameron announcement in the Financial Times that he will cut the number of MP seats by 60. This will be done to cut public spending and promote fairness so all seats have roughly the same number of electors.
As noted by Rob Hayward, an elections analyst and former Tory MP, speedy boundary reviews ‘would favour the Tories as they would reflect Britain’s shift from urban to rural areas’, but could this potentially be an unpopular move? Will it end up in the list of first term priorities for the Conservatives such as the ill-fated move to have a Cabinet team with no outside directorships?”
